HUSKlNG-GLOVE.'

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,571, dated December27, 1881.

Application filed July 30, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JOSEPH F. GLIDDEN, acitizen of the United States, resident of De Kalb, in the county of DeKalb and State of Illinois, have invented a new and valuableInlprovement in Hashing-Gloves; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand operation of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon.

Figure ofithe drawings is a representation of a perspective view of mydevice. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of one of the fingers, andFigs. 3, 4, and 5 are detail views of the same.

This invention relates to improvements in huskiug-gloves; and itconsists in the devices hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the annexed drawings, theletter a represents a. stout glove ofbuckskin or other analogous material. Secured to the backs of thefingers and thumb are loops 1), situated so that they project toward thetips a. Held in these loops are rings (I, through which pass the fingersand thumb, and upon the fronts of these latter the rings are providedwith prongs 0. These prongs may be. formed by turning up one end of thering metal and twisting the other about it. Over the rings at the prongsare placed patches of leather or other material, which are fastened tothe glove, and have holes g, through which the prongs project. Thesepatches prevent the rings from turning, and thus keep the prongs inproper position. The loops not only hold the rings on the glove, butwhen the latter is in use tend by the strain to tighten them in placefirmly.

The pronged rings may be applied to any glove in the manner described,and are removable by taking off the loops and patches.

I do not propose to confine myself to the exact construction of prongs,nor to the precise means of securing them in place.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A husking glove having the removable rings (1, provided withprougs,as set forth.

2. The rings d, having the prongs e, in combination with a glove, andmeans, substantially as described, for holding the rings on the glove,as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH F. GLIDDEN.
